A primitive mind on the other hand, first arrives at a conclusion and than searches for supporting evidences which are, inevitably bound to be hand picked among a plethora of counter evidences. Mrs. Clarke, sadly, falls into the latter one. She, most probably having been bombarded by Islamophobic and xenophobic media, has already had her opinion on the subject matter and after an exhaustive search found the evidence in a distant past. <BR/><BR/>I would try to show some empathy in a situation like the one she relates form his father. A young –admittedly a witty one- Muslim lady who most probably had been the target of similar verbal abuses and accusing stares, was asked “What the hell are you and people like you doing in this country?”. What would Mrs. Clarke feel if she was the one facing the question? How long would she be able to let it go with a smile? Does Mrs. Clarke understand what the hideous question really means? Does she understand that this country is based on the freedom for all faiths not only the one she believes in, freedom for all ethnical backgrounds not only the one she belongs to? Is Mrs. Clarke aware of the fact that if not her father, her grandfathers asked the African-Americans the very same question for very long time? And the Jewish immigrants, and the Polish immigrants, and so and so forth? <BR/><BR/>We do not know what the witty Muslim lady really meant by her answer, but indeed it turned out that she was right. We do learn to better. Not necessarily because they are better but we are worse than we though for long time. Ask any person, anywhere he/she would tell you that he/she respects all cultures, faiths etc. until actually meets one. Americans were not any different. Today we are being tested how sincere we are and, sadly, we are not doing well. It is time to learn to be better. Either form our mistakes or the mistakes of old Europe. Or shining examples of 7-century peaceful co-existence (La Convivencia) in Spain or Ottoman era in Balkans and Asia minor. Incidentally both examples were lead by Muslims but this is beyond the point. <BR/><BR/>The only pint I strongly agree with Mrs. Clarke is that the fellow American Muslims attending the mosque in her neighborhood should have been more engaging with their neighbors. Not only because it is natural and their religion commands that but also to remove the possible doubts in some minds with prejudice. I gladly observe the increasing dialogue with American Muslims and Americans from all other faith backgrounds which, I strongly believe, will lead more peaceful, more harmonious, more prosperous and more secure future. <BR/><BR/>I only wish my fellow Americans to be more educated about the existence of a world beyond their counties. Than again, with the education system and the media we have, maybe I am asking for too much.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13042412257160031543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10834046.post-15996574962872277042009-03-28T18:29:00.000+00:002009-03-28T18:29:00.000+00:00You know - facts and figures don't tell the whole ...You know - facts and figures don't tell the whole story. What's in the minds of people - which they voice - speaks more. About 15 years ago, my father went into a convenience store in which the cashier was a woman with a scarf on her head. He asked her what religion she was. She responded that she was Muslim. He said, "You know, I've noticed a lot of your people in this country. Why is that so?" Her response - when I heard it - chilled me to the bone. She said, "We are here to teach you a better way." TEACH us? Considering that Muslims are not known for supporting the charitable work of others in this country and considering that they are not known for reaching out to Americans on a social or charitable level where they live, I can only infer from the woman's statement that they intend to impose their values on Americans. And those are better than our Judeo-Christian ones?<BR/><BR/>A mosque was built in a community in my town. It was put in the midst of several Christian churches. The Muslims have never tried to get to know their neighbors, even though members of my church (Methodist) went to their church to say "hello". I am left with the conclusion that Muslims are immigrating to this country in order to build up their numbers. At which point, they intend to take over this country. If not by vote - then by force. I am terrified for the safety of this country and the continuity of our Constitution. I want Muslim immigration to this country halted.
